Disney - Colors Of The Wind (Disney's Greatest Volume 2) Lyrics

You think I'm an
ignorant savage
And you've been to so
many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so
much that you
don't know?
You don't know...

You think you own
whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead
thing you can claim
But I know ev'ry rock and
tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit
has a name

You think the only people
who are people
Are the people who look
and think like you
But if you walk the
footsteps ofa stranger
You'll learn things you
never knew you
never knew

Have you ever heard the
wolf cry to the blue
corn moon
Or ask the grinning
bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the
voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the
colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the
colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine
trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet
berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches
all around you
And for once, never
wonder what
they're worth

The rainstorm and the
river ar my brothers
The heron and the otter
are my friends
And we are all connected
wo each other
In a circle, in a hoop that
never ends

How high does the
sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then
you'll never know

And you'll never hear the
wolf cry to the blue
corn moon
For whether we are white
or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all
the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the
colors of the wind
You can own the earth
and still
All you'll own is
earth until
You can paint with all the
colors of the wind
